Thanks; I sent this same patch out yesterday.

Unfortunately, you didn't cc the author of this breakage, Masahiro Yamada.
I want to highlight that these kinds of header cleanups are risky,
and very low reward. I really don't want to see patches going all over
the tree randomly touching header files. If we've got a real problem
to solve, then sure. But I want to see a strong justification for any
more header file cleanups.
